We are the most self-conscious in our teenage years. In addition to the changes our bodies are going through, most teens don’t want to go through the ‘braces’ phase where they are conscious of the way they look.

And while it’s important to correct teeth misalignment through orthodontic appliances, you can now do it in the most unnoticeable way—Invisalign. Invisalign Teen Brooklyn is the best way to achieve the perfect smile without anyone even knowing that you’re using Invisalign clear aligners.

Invisalign Teen is the version of Invisalign for patients aged 13 to 19. It uses the same clear aligner technology as Invisalign but with a few modifications to accommodate the dental needs of teenagers. Invisalign Teen is also FDA-approved and backed by over 20 years of clinical research.

Scantlebury Orthodontics offers Invisalign Teen Brooklyn to help your teen achieve the smile of their dreams in the most discreet way possible. Invisalign Teen is virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This means that the patient can still enjoy their favorite foods and drinks without having to worry about their Invisalign aligners.

BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN

Functionality
Invisalign can treat a wide range of dental problems including overcrowding, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites. In a matter of six to eighteen months, we can complete your Invisalign treatment and reveal the beautiful, straight smile you’ve always wanted.

Aesthetics
Clear aligners are virtually undetectable because they are custom-made to fit your teeth and are made of clear, BPA-free plastic. Invisalign is the clear alternative to metal braces, which means that you can correct teeth misalignment without compromising the way you look.

Comfort
Invisalign is much more comfortable to wear than metal braces. There are no brackets or wires that can rub against your gums and cause irritation. Invisalign is also removable, so you can take them out whenever you want.

Practicality
With Invisalign, you will need to visit the orthodontist less often because there are no wires or brackets that need to be adjusted. Depending on the severity, Invisalign treatment can also make your teeth straighter in less time than traditional braces.

INVISALIGN TEEN FEATURES

Invisalign Teen is designed to meet the specific needs of teenagers. In addition to being virtually invisible, Invisalign Teen features:

Eruption Tabs
Eruption tabs help to account for the movement of teeth as they erupt. They are pocket-like spaces in the aligners that give the erupting tooth the necessary room to come in without affecting the rest of the teeth.

Replacement Aligners
It’s not uncommon for teens to lose or damage their Invisalign aligners. Invisalign Teen comes with up to six replacement aligners in case any are lost or damaged.

Wear Indicators
One of the parents’ biggest concerns about investing in Invisalign for their teens is the possible lack of compliance. For that, Invisalign Teen features wear indicators in the form of blue dots that fade over time. This feature allows parents to see how well their teen is complying with Invisalign treatment.

Invisalign For Teens FAQs

How does Invisalign Teen work?
Invisalign Teen uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually move your teeth into the desired position. The patient will need to wear each aligner for about two weeks before moving on to the next one in the series. In total, Invisalign Teen treatment can take anywhere from six to eighteen months.

Is it painful?
In general, Invisalign is not painful. You may feel some discomfort when you first start wearing the aligners because your teeth are adjusting to the new pressure. However, this discomfort should go away after a few days.

Are there any side effects?
The most common side effect of Invisalign is gum irritation. This happens mostly during the first few weeks as the aligners are rubbing against the gums. To avoid this, make sure to brush and floss your teeth before putting in your aligners.

Another common side effect is temporary tooth sensitivity. This is caused by the pressure of the aligners moving your teeth. The sensitivity should go away after a few days.

How much does Invisalign Teen cost?
Treatment costs vary depending on the severity of the case. In general, Invisalign is more expensive than traditional braces. However, the Invisalign Teen cost can be offset by dental insurance. Most dental insurance plans cover Invisalign treatment the same way they would cover traditional braces.

On average, the cost of Invisalign Teen ranges from $3500 to $7000. At Scantlebury Orthodontics, we offer discounts, flexible payment plans and accept all major dental insurance providers.
